With the invention of the ESR meter, a technician does not need the
schematic in most cases. If he knows the basic theory of how TV's and
monitors work schematics are not needed. The internet can be used to
find out voltages for IC's that aren't in the ECG or NTE books. Bad
connections and caps with high ESR are the most common ailments in TV's
today. If I have to buy a schematic, I get frustrated. As that paper
'CEA Industry Study Results' said, manufacturers should have all their
schematics available on their website in PDF format. Talking to other
techs, like we do here, is always very helpful as everyone has a
slightly different approach.

Wow...only been at it for around 15 years, but I find I NEED schematics.
As a
matter of fact ...I very seldom take in a TV if I don't have a schematic
or
have access to one. Working on TV's without service data is guess work.
Part
values are more critical today than they were years ago. Proper service
data
is necessary just to get the original part #.
